he put her heart into his pocket
he didn't think to give it back
she didn't do a thing to stop it
just one less thing now to unpack
oh, now she's home
and since he never calls her
then he'll never have to know
he drove away to watch the sunrise
she only saw it set away
he doesn't think of her the way she thinks of him
he fell asleep, she stayed awake
oh, now she's home
and since he never calls her
then he'll never have to know
she tries to write him a letter
all she can write is "I love you"
this envelope will never make it to the postbox
she's feeling stupid an confused
oh, now she's home
and since he never calls her
then he'll never have to know
I wish I could draw a line
Through all of nineteen ninety-nine
All except that moment in spring
When I had everything
I had everything
It's funny how a year can make
So much of only one mistake
All I wanted was the life I planned
But now I understand
Now I understand
I wish I had never known
A heart that beats just like my own
How can one so close become so far away
In just a day
In just a day
no one notices such a slow decline
I used to be yours and you used to be mine
you used to be mine
you used to be mine
you and me alone here
is just a memory
nothing grows here and nothing ever will
it all died a while ago but I wait here still
I wait here still
you and me alone here
is just a memory
I can't help you
and you can't help me
it's so sad
so sad
no one notices such a slow decline
I used to be yours and you used to be mine
you used to be mine
you used to be mine
you and me alone here
is just a memory
I'm catching on to all the symptoms that you feign
Another shot of something, warm to numb the pain
Lets just be honest and admit we can't go on
You can begin to be yourself once I am gone
Your kiss was sweet like an apricot
I guess I'm the girl you thought
When you said this would never be undone
Your heart was pure like youth and all it's charms
Now my empty arms are of no use
To me or anyone
I always knew that you deserved much more than me
You are more interesting than I'll ever be
Somehow our whole world has gone spinning in reverse
I hope this heartache of mine won't get any worse
Your kiss was sweet like an apricot
I guess I'm the girl you thought
When you said this would never be undone
Your heart was pure like youth and all it's charms
Now my empty arms are of no use
To me or anyone
Will you forget the scent of violets on my skin
I'll never know the safety of your arms again
standing in my kitchen we're staring at our shoes
you don't have to pretend anymore
I'm going away today, nothing could make me stay
I guess I'm better off this way
standing in my kitchen let's suck the coffee down
you're scared to find the words to let me know
but I know what's on your mind, your love for me is left behind
at least you're not being unkind
standing in my kitchen my heart's all twisted up
I can't believe I've grown so fond of you
but it's time to let you go, why crushes fade I'll never know
this healing process is so slow
you don't like me anymore
Your eyes are like poetry
Your lips are so sugary
You're all toether wonderful to behold
I never thought that I would hear
You say that I'm who you hold dear
More than anyone else
Or at least not in the same way
I've been thinking about you and only you
You are like the morning time
Full of promise yet to find
I'm dazzled every time I realize you're mine
I never thought that I would see
The day that you would come to me
And ask forgiveness
For the time we let go by
I've been thinking of you and only you
Did you find a four leaf clover
Did you hope that I'd come over
Here I am and I might never leave again
I never thought that I would be
So close to you that I could see
The way your hair goes wavy
When you wake up
I wrote it down
And hoped that you would find it
Long after I had gone
As far away as I could get
From those words I couldn't say
You'll be better off the day I go away
We were almost in love
So close but never close enough
You wrote it down
And put it in my pocket
I didn't find it 'til
It was too late to change my mind
We'll be happier this way
I would only let you down if I should stay
We were almost in love
So close but never close enough
was it really so long ago
we were taking photographs
of each other in our winter pageant clothes
skipping school going home
running for shelter from a sudden thunderstorm
kissing raindrops on your nose
what part did I play
in making you the way you are
what more can I say to convince you
you didn't have to go so far
you didn't have to go so far
you may as well live a universe away now
I'll probably never see you again
I wonder where you went
where do you go what do you see
and do you ever think of me
and california
and all that time we spent
what part did I play
in making you the way you are
what more can I say to convince you
you didn't have to go so far
you didn't have to go so far
way too far away
two days
have another drink on me
now you're finally free
I wish I could make this train
go faster than it does
I wish I could make this train
go faster than anything
tracks and tunnels covered in snow
I should have gone home a long time ago
this seemingly endless fight
ends tomorrow night
I wish I could make this train
go faster than it does
I wish I could make this train
go faster than anything
you and me both abandon all of our hope
we leave it for somebody else to find
I raise my bow and aim
missing every time the same
no use being angry at anyone
like we've already done
I wish I could make this train
go faster than it does
I wish I could make this train
go faster than anything
I wish I could make this train
go faster than it does
I wish I could make this train
go faster than anything
Your hand is mine suddenly
What do you find so new in me
It's just today that makes you hink you care
Tomorrow will bring you a new affair
You don't need me like you say you do
It's just these sad times we're going through
Your heart can see what it missed before
I'll still just me, nothing less or more
it's just today that is bewtiching you
I think tomorrow you will see that too
You don't need me like you say you do
It's just these sad times we're going through
Your hand is mind so suddenly
When did you find this good in me
It's just the day that you don't want to end
Tomorrow you'll fall out of love again
You don't need me like you say you do
It's just these sad times we're going through
When I left there was nothing to see
Nothing to cherish and nothing to be
These days it's alright to me
Maybe I'll stay awhile
The Northern air
Still carries the sound of my prayer
Hearts break and time takes it toll on
The places we go
This tiny piece of blue sky
I can see from where I lie
Is bluer and brighter than I
Ever thought possible
The Northern air
Still carries the sound of my prayer
Hearts break and time takes it toll on
The places we go
Is it merely the moon in the sky
That is making my heart misbehave
Taking back what i gave
Pieces are once again whole
What was broken is mended
That story's ended
When I left there was nothing to see
Nothing to cherish and nothing to be
These days it's alright to me
Maybe I'll stay awhile
The Northern air
Still carries the sound of my prayer
Hearts break and time takes it toll on
The places we go
I want you to see boats, so you took me to the sea
I felt like I could fly in this new sky you showed to me
Airplanes passed above us, so only i could hear
When you whispered "I love you" so sweetly in my ear
These are the best days (2x)
Night time on an empty shore - foggy like my head
Drifting off to sleep to all those silly things you said
Waking for a moment, to say that we'd be fine
You hid your smile with one hand and with the other you held mine
These are the best days (5x)
Are you loving how you're living
Is it treating you well
Do you greet the early morning alone
Are you leaving who is loving you
In spite of it all
Are you closing it down
To get away from it all
Goodbye my friend
Can't see you again
It's the beginning of the end
Are you spending time around
All the new kids in town
Never a moment alone
It seems so easy for you
But what am I to do
I'm all closed down
Don't want to start anew
You were my best friend
I'll start over again
It's the beginning of the end
Are you loving how you're living
Is it treating you well
Do you greet the early morning alone
Are you leaving who is loving you
In spite of it all
Are you closing it down
To get away from it all
Goodbye my friend
Can't see you again
It's the beginning of the end
I'm crazy for the sound of his voice
I think I found a boy who makes me smile
let's hold hands for a while
blue eyes like the sky he makes me dream about a time
when maybe we could run away and hide
I'd always have him by my side
I'm thinking of his name over and over again
I'd like to see him soon
in the light of a shining moon
blue eyes like the sky he makes me dream about a time
when maybe we could run away and hide
I'd always have him by my side
I dreamed that he was here, a picture I hold dear
a kiss that might have been
wait till I sleep, I'll kiss him then
blue eyes like the sky he makes me dream about a time
when maybe we could run away and hide
I'd always have him by my side
and if it's only in my head
this dream is worth all that he said
saying everything I mean, I cherish that and everything
cherish that and everything
maybe you tried but I know better
than to hear your side
I'd feel better maybe if you cried too
eyes teary and sore
I'm ringing the bell and I know you hear it
but I can't tell if you're laughing or crying
you hide it so well
you've done this before
with splintered hands
I keep knocking on your door
with splintered hands
I keep knocking on your door
you offer your help but I don't want it
keep it to yourself
I'd rather die than do that again
I've made that mistake before
you just stand there
you see I'm bleeding all over
but I don't care I'm used to this
there's broken glass everywhere
I'm cold and sore
with splintered hands
I keep knocking on your door
with splintered hands
I keep knocking on your door
with splintered hands
I keep knocking on your door
with splintered hands
I keep knocking on your door
If I beg you will you smother me
Just to put me out of my constant misery
This is too much for me to bear
You'd know this too if you ever had been there
I hope you have sweet dreams
And I hope You never leave me
I wander thorugh these empty halls
As the moon casts shadows of just me upon the walls
My time wasted in endless regret
While you sleep away your troubles and forget
I hope you have sweet dreams
And I hope you never leave me
sixteen months just wasn't long enough
to change your mind
but I'm sure you knew that all along
I was much too young
and you were much too far away to think
that I might think about you when you're gone
what did you wear how steep was your climb
what did you have in your pockets at the time
how long did it take how much did you care
what side of the street did they find you waiting there
sixteen months leaves little to remember even though
I have the photographs to prove that you were there
now and then I think about the way you might have been
but other times I'm just so angry I don't care
what did you say and who did you tell
what could I have done
that might have saved you from yourself
how did it feel and what went through your mind
what did they do with all the things you left behind
I know it's hard for you to show that you love me
I can see when you look at me you want to tell me
you say you don't know how
but you don't have to 'cause I know
you say you don't know how
but you don't have to 'cause I know
when you say you've always been this way, I believe you
you tell me this selfish tendency will never leave you
you say you can't change now
but you don't have to 'cause I know
you say you can't change now
but you don't have to 'cause I know
I don't doubt you know all about how I adore you
and if you can't say I love you, I'll say it for you
you say you don't know why
but you don't have to 'cause I know
you say you don't know why
but you don't have to 'cause I know
special delivery postage due
you've returned me to sender, haven't you
I know better than to fall for you
but you're so much in your postal blue
if I were smart I'd stay away from you
I can't stand you in your postal blue
I know I never cross your mind
I know I'm not really your kind
misreading signals all the while
reading too much into your smile
special delivery postage due
you've returned me to sender, haven't you
on a perfect afternoon
thinking you would be there soon
by the evening time
it was obvious you were no longer mine
you should have written, you might have called
you should have never led me on at all
but you were always a few days ahead of me
and there was always someone else instead of me
instead of me
sitting perfectly still
barely fighting off the chill
feeling cold, feeling dumb
it was becoming clear that you wouldn't come
you should have written, you might have called
you should have never made this plan at all
but you were always a few days ahead of me
and there was always someone else instead of me
instead of me
driving the same road not much to see
going toward weather more suited to me
ending this whole thing by waving my hand
I hope that you don't forget what we planned
for years down the road
when we both grow old
but we don't have time for that now
so you stay here and I'll go on
but I'm leaving this pedestal empty to put you upon
dates and persimmons are filling the room
not leaving space for my sorrow and gloom
I'm glad you're not here so don't try to be
I like you just how you are around me
even though I don't have much time
we don't have to finish this now
so you stay here and I'll go on
but I'll think about us playing house everyday
that I'm gone
you say what she said it sounds just as wrong
maybe it's best that I didn't stay long
watching the insects devour
the last of the summer flowers
listening to the same old thing
but nothing is the same
watching the only thing I ever really wanted
slip away
feeling the heat, I'm suffocating
well aware that no one's waiting
here or there or in between
desperately holding onto what I think I need
everything's over
everything's over
you say nothing could be wrong
but I know things don't take this long
if they're okay
nothing's okay
wasted all my time again today
I'll never amount to anything
if I go on this way
watching the ocean take back
every wish I make
throwing sand back to the sea
watching the sun go down and
wishing that the waves would take back me
everything's over
everything's over
you say nothing could be wrong
but I know things don't take this long
if they're okay
nothing's okay
nothing's okay
you can just take my valentine and throw it away
it never meant anything to you anyway
I was just trying to be nice
not suggestive or make you feel you had someone too
I just wanted you to know that I was thinking of you
I was just trying to be your friend
like I said I would in the letter I sent
I haven't heard from you and I don't know where you went
I was just trying to be sweet
like you said I was when we stayed up all night
and you never call anymore but I guess it's alright
I was just trying to be sincere
la la la la...
I'd like to imagine your kiss is like dynamite
I didn't think that you would call me tonight
I like you
things you do
you're mod through and through
let's go for a ride on your sparkly Lambretta
I'll sit you behind you and cling to your sweater
I like you
things you do
let's talk about The Who
It's all tight trousers and records to you
let's wear our parkas and sport big hair-dos
you're only 16 but you seem so much older
I'm 25 now and I can't get much bolder
I like you
things you do
wish I wasn't too old for you...
lambretta boy
you're a sure sign of heaven above
and you're past the line between I like and I love
but I'm trusting you to always be mine and be true
and there's no reason we can't call it what it is
it's love it's love, it's love it's love
there's a good chance any time of the day
I'll be thinking of you in the nicest way
I haven't slept in days and I know that I'll feel this always
and there's no reason we can't call it what it is
it's love it's love, it's love it's love
I can't help but tell everyone
this is the best thing I've ever done
I owe you everything
you turned my winter to spring
this must be love
I felt so close to tears today
I had to take a walk
To make it go away
Wrapped up in your coat last night
I hooked your arm in mine
All in my mind
You're so close
You tell me something good
It's so hard to hide this like I should
I'm still so close to tears today
This walk is only taking me
Further away
To make you see me in a different light
I'd have to leave without saying goodbye
You're so near
You tell me something dear
It's only all the good things you fear
Maybe I should
Move away
You would only love me if you stayed
there's no competing with him
I can't keep you warm like that
I can't love you the way he does
I can only love you more
there's no convincing me
that you'll still talk to me like you did
I can't bear to see you like this
it makes me love you more
and more than anything ever
you're beautiful and always so clever
you're everything good, I hope that I might be
I hope he sees even half of what I see
there's nothing keeping you with me
you can go away with him
there's no sense in rubbing it in
it makes me love you more
I can't compete with that boy
I can't make you feel like that
I can't love you the way he does
I can only love you more
and more each time you ignore me
this jealousy is starting to bore me
you can have him and I'll have my own
or maybe I'd just rather end up alone
You burn with a firery passion of youth
I can't be satisfied
You read it in literature so it must be the truth
You certainly know how to have a good time
I can't be satisfied
I had some thought about it, but I was alright by night
Obviously you have something I lack;
Get out and don't come back
Did you know I'm a pessimist?
Have you ever wanted to die?
Have you no decency?
It's a hard world, thats no lie.
All the experiences we have had
I can't be satisfied
Someday you must let me know how you tell the good from the bad
I just don't care if I get out of bed
I can't be satisfied
The first sign of apathy would be check to see if you're dead
Some of my best friends are bastards like you
At least they're not neurotics too
Did you know i'm a pessimist?
Have you ever wanted to die?
Have you no decency?
It's a hard world, thats no lie.
In your letter you didn't say
The weather would be so dreadful
But I'm so glad to be here
It's just you and me now honey
Far from the west coast
Where you've never been and
You long to see someday
Wo'd have thought I'd really visit
A holiday in Rhode Island
I'm so happy just to see you
You're all I dream of honey
Now we can be tgether
For a few days I am the only one
both of us know that this romance has ended
but we both pretended it wasn't this soon
I was so young and you swept me away
now I'm twenty-two and I don't love you anymore
I'm sorry to say, so what do I do when you ask me to stay
I like you enough still, I wish you the best
but I'm letting go now of all of the rest
all of your promises broke from the weight of
too many mistakes realized it too late
everything I know I learned it from you
but watching you go what did I know about love
you said it was true, then you left me crying for somebody new
I don't understand and I don't think that I
can ever forgive you, let's just say goodbye
goodbye
I won't be angry and you not ashamed
no one needs to be blamed, we just don't love the same
I tried to tell you but you didn't hear
now it's even true I won't be there for you anymore
I'm sorry to say, so how can you still look at me the same way
thanks for the nice things and maybe in time
I won't remember you ever were mine
goodbye
goodbye
last time I wrote you I meant to say sorry
I didn't mean for your eyes to get starry
trying to say it got stuck in my throat
but I meant every word that I wrote
next time I see you I'm sure you'll be better
easily past the effects of my letter
it looks not so sad written down
and it lessens with each passing town
it's fragile
fragile like you
like you
breaking your heart was not what I hoped for
I've said too much and can't possibly say more
maybe that's not being fair
so it's lucky I'm here and you're there
put it inside your cigar box forever
and maybe someday you'll forgive me for never
doing what you wanted most
but you can't send true love through the post
it's fragile
fragile like you
like you
burden overcomes
even the best of us
but I forgive you
I forgive you
fortune finds
even the worst of us
but I forgive you
I forgive you
jealousy overtakes
even the best of us
but I forgive you
I forgive you
something you said is on my mind
I'm the one you thought you'd never find
a sudden coastal holiday makes you see me in a
different way
your voice sounds so hollow
I'm glad to have you following me
listing off my favorite things
you say I have too many dreams
but first I wished and now it's true
I'm becoming awfully fond of you
your voice sounds so hollow
I'm glad to have you following me
you didn't know me and still you called
I didn't find it strange at all
seeming like the thing to do
I knew it then and so did you
your voice was so hollow
I'm glad you've come to follow me
follow me, follow me
follow me, follow me
I have a yellow and havy sundress
Maybe I'll wear it today
It reminds me of you
Your favorite shade of blue
Now the hem is coming out
I think I'll walk to town today
I'll go the long way
The pavement meets my shoes
I'll go anywhere I choose
I imagine you are right behind
Summertime falls from the trees
Autumn is here and you're not
I've made you a ghost
I miss you the most
Of anyone that's gone
Life without you is second best
I guess I'll get by
I'm lonelier today
Than I'd dare to say
To anyone who asks
I have a yellow and navy sundress
It reminds me of you
you say that nothing is better than this
I feel the same and let you know with each kiss
that I love you
this thing is bigger than you or me
from here to heaven or across any sea
it's true
oh sweetie everything's excellent
oh sweetie everything's fine
I know I've said it already before
but every time means even more
I swear it's true
I'll never go back to how I was
I don't have to now because
I have you
oh sweetie everything's excellent
oh sweetie everything's fine
how did I get so lucky
or when will someone wake me
from this dream
it's much too good to be real
I can't belive the way I feel
but it's true
oh sweetie everything's excellent
oh sweetie everything's fine
everything's fine
let's finally stop this endless chase
take that smile from your face
this isn't funny anymore
I don't know what you're waiting for
so I'll close my eyes and I'll count to ten
and I'll never feel that way again
do a favor to us all
just go away don't write don't call
this couldn't possibly get worse
if you don't leave then I'll go first
always someone to take you in
your weakness proved to be my win
'cause if I'd never known this ache
there might be something left to break
someday
and when I cry it's not so bad
compared to all those fights we had
just don't remind me of that time
when all I wanted was to die
and I'll close my eyes and I'll count to ten
and I'll never feel that way again
how could I let you do this again
how could I let myself be sucked into this thing
called friends
how could I let you hurt me this way
torturing myself day after day after day
you'd have thought I'd learned by now
want to let you go but don't know how
how could I let you kiss me like that
all of my hopes up only to be squashed flat
how could I think that you'd love me too
you're just a scared boy, the only kind that will do
I hope you'll soon lose your charm
that might save my heart from harm
too many kites and our strings got crossed
you touched my hand and my heart got lost
if you've been watching the things I do
you might have noticed that I loved you
but as it happened you never knew
I hid pictures of you in my room
there by your bedside all winter long
clutching my heart wishing she was gone
if you'd have woken you might not see
that all I wanted was you for me
so I just quietly left you be
sending kisses to you in your sleep
is it crazy to think that
maybe you wanted me to stay
and just forgot to say
if you've been listening to what I say
you might not love me now anyway
but in ten years I'll still feel the same
'cause I heard that these kind of things stay
too shallow to see
the damage is already done
you can no longer count on
anyone
there's never enough time
to make it all disappear
you'd follow me anywhere but here
two weeks and six days
and seven hours late
practicing saying goodbye
while I wait
there's never enough time
to make it all disappear
you'd follow me anywhere but here
somewhere beneath her taffeta dress
I think I see a heart shaped scar
somewhere inside her tiny wave
I think I see a tiny star
she's saving it up, it's pulling her down
she's saving it up, it's pulling her down
into an awful mess if you loved her any less
she would go
I know that she's done this before
with someone else, another place
that must have been the last time
that I saw a smile on her face
she's saving it up, it's pulling her down
she's saving it up, it's pulling her down
into an awful mess if you loved her any less
she would go
if you run away then she'll go there too
she'll be with you 'till the end of the world
and beyond
somewhere beneath her taffeta dress
I think I see a heart shaped scar
somewhere inside her tiny wave
I think I see a tiny star
she's saving it up, it's pulling her down
she's saving it up, it's pulling her down
into an awful mess if you loved her any less
she would go
I don't want to move to alaska
I won't marry you there or any place
this country life you've been talking about
won't fancy your much too pretty face
oh, alaska
I won't be seeing that soon
you can go without me
and do whatever you want to
in time I'd surely grow lonesome
you would no doubt become bored
desperate for company other than mine
and luxuries I can't afford
oh, alaska
I won't be seeing that soon
you can go without me
and do whatever you want to
it might have been a nicer place to be
if you'd been nicer to me
oh, alaska
I won't be seeing that soon
you can go without me
and do whatever you want to
do whatever you want to
do whatever you want to do
I thought you were nice
I'd like to tell you twice
hey I like your band
come and take my hand
we'll travel to a distant land
I thought you were too cool
I feel like such a fool
well I live two hours away
I'll be back another day
maybe we could take guitars and play
I don't really know you
I've heard things about you
about you
hide and seek now I'm fast asleep
once again I missed my turn
I feel so naive next to her
but maybe I'll get better
maybe then I'll never ever ever again
disbelieve when you say
you love my foolish way
she knows you
so much better than I do
I toss in my sleep
and I fret all day long
you find it charming
that I'm always wrong
maybe I'll get better
maybe then I'll never ever ever again
disbelieve when you say
you love my foolish way
Take it downstairs
No one here cares
Take it outside
Find someplace good to hide
Now it's just me and the bees
In a cyclone of falling leaves
Go for a ride
The road opens wide
Nobody knows
These trials and woes
Now it's just me and the bees
In a cyclone of falling leaves
Caught in the wind
Coldest I've ever been
Too bad it's true
I'm still in love with you
Now it's just me and the bees
In a cyclone of falling leaves
I see that you're still wearing my ring
I stopped wearing yours
don't you have some decency
but if you didn't care then
then why should you care now
so you manage still somehow
to make a fool of me
but I'm alright this way
and though you seem okay
the truth is showing through
I'm just another disaster
you managed to avert
nevermind how much it hurt
or do you ever feel that too
or is your mind already made up?
or is your mind already made up?
why are you sitting over there when I'm over here
in this great big chair
are you afraid of what I might say
that I like you and then you'd have to run away
you don't have to sit so far away from me
when there's this loveseat
'cause it's just me and it's meant for two
and there's a space for me and a space for you
and I think you're sweet
you could ride a bike or you could take a plane
would you get here faster, would you feel the same
I could draw you a map that gets you here today
but you're only twenty five feet away
you don't have to sit so far away from me
when there's this loveseat
'cause it's just me and it's meant for two
and there's a space for me and a space for you
and I think you're sweet
cherry red upholstery
it won't mean a thing until you sit next to me
la la la la la
you don't have to sit so far away from me
when there's this loveseat
'cause it's just me and it's meant for two
and there's a space for me and a space for you
and I think you're sweet
would you walk across the sea just to come and talk to me
will you think of me today, and do I take your breath away
when I look into the sky I know I'll love you 'till I die
do you ever feel that way, what can I do to make you stay
how much do you love me
is it half as much as I know I love you
how much do you love me
could you tell me 'cause you don't have to love me too
if you don't know like I do then tell me quick
before I make a fool of myself and of you
pocket full of pennies and a paper plate that's full of sand
blow a kiss aimed at your cheek
and dream of you each day this week
how much do you love me
is it half as much as I know I love you
how much do you love me
could you tell me 'cause you don't have to love me too
if you don't know like I do then tell me quick
before I make a fool of myself and you
is this going nowhere
do you laugh when I think that you care
should I believe them when they say you're not there
would you walk across the sea just to come and talk to me
will you think of me today, or do I take your breath away
since you asked me not to go I won't
but if you asked me if I know why
I'd have to say I don't
so silly me I thought you were the one
silly me are you having fun
and a promise is a promise still
if I have to stay up all night I will
waiting here in the dark until you tell
you're stumbling over what you say
and if I haven't hurt your feelings then
why do you act this way
so silly me I thought you were the one
silly me are you having fun
and a promise is a promise still
if I have to stay up all night I will
waiting here in the dark until you...
tell me when did this get old
when did you get so cold
I'm losing trying to figure how
and please don't try to spare my heart
it's much too late to start
caring what I'm feeling now
excuse me if I've lost my smile
I'm a little disappointed and this
might take me a while
so silly me I thought you were the one
silly me are you having fun
and a promise is a promise still
if I have to stay up all night I will
waiting here in the dark until you tell
until you tell
until you tell
lately the sun's been hiding
there's nothing much exciting
about all these dreary days
I miss you in so many ways
bears are hibernating
freezing cold is understating
this morning weather
I wish we were together
so I'll rub away the window frost
in snow like this I could get lost
but I'd tunnel through to get to you
then I'd never say goodbye
oh it keeps on coming down
and I write your name there on the ground
but it disappears in frozen tears
that are falling from the sky
outside the snow keeps falling
if you're cold then I'll come calling
these winter days I find
seems you're always on my mind
oh if you only knew
just how much I think of you
I might not be so cold
if I had your hand to hold
so I'll rub away the window frost
in snow like this I could get lost
but I'd tunnel through to get to you
then I'd never say goodbye
oh it keeps on coming down
and I write your name there on the ground
but it disappears in frozen tears
that are falling from the sky
side by side they're beautiful
and yet I let them go
now there's no one at all
make my bed and lie in it
gleefully I will steal covers
from no one at all
everyone knows unrequited
love's the best way to stay alone
watch me chase the bad one
yearning for the worst one
laughing as I end up
with no one at all
packing boxes all night
reading letters from you for the last time
for real
leaving you behind was easy
now I know how little you feel
now I wasted all my wishes on you
I have nothing left to gain
so goodbye, wishing you well and hello rain
I made a paper boat and watched it going down the drain
so goodbye, wishing you well and hello rain
thought I'd thrown them all away
finding one last souvenir behind
my bureau drawer
feeling sad all on my own
I don't need you for that anymore
and I wasted all my wishes on you
I have nothing left to gain
so goodbye, wishing you well and hello rain
I made a paper boat and watched it going down the drain
so goodbye, wishing you well and hello rain
you can't stand to see me losing
all my precious sinlessness
now my heart is out of your hands
you couldn't possibly want it back
any less
now I wasted all my wishes on you
I have nothing left to gain
so goodbye, wishing you well and hello rain
I made a paper boat and watched it going down the drain
so goodbye, wishing you well and hello rain
goodbye, wishing you well and hello rain
fireworks the night that we were going
to meet tiffany
flashbulbs popped and all the stars
fell into the sea
or was it a river you were walking
single file with me
oh my goodness what a charming personality
heart condition, you give me a heart condition
my days are full and nights are planned but I just
want to be with you
let's go out and shoplift low top converse tennis shoes
hey I heard your favorite colors
are brown and baby blue
or I mean it when I say that this
brand new love is true
heart condition, you give me a heart condition
my head is in the clouds and I'm not even tall
you're the one for me, boy there's no doubt at all
heart condition, you give me a heart condition
I've been away and suddenly
you're a poet musing my return
what I did while I was gone
is none of your concern
you can write that I have changed
from how I was back then
just don't think that you could ever cry to me again
you can add this to your growing list
of heartfelt disappointment worn
like charms around your wrist
you're taking pictures every time I turn away
cutting pasting and making fun of everything I say
you can tell the whole wide world I don't know anything
just remember that everything I say I might not mean
you can add this to your growing list
of heartfelt disappointment worn
like charms around your wrist
and it's so sad if I was all you had
that wasn't how I planned it
it doesn't help you to demand it
if it's not there
you can add this to your growing list
of heartfelt disappointment worn
like charms around your wrist
you can add this to your growing list
of heartfelt disappointment worn
like charms around your wrist
when I was running around trying to get kissed
and throwing myself at anyone who'd have me
you were one half of one thing with one girl
and this seemed to go on somewhat endlessly
but now that's all over for you
I think it's time I had something just like that too
I say my timing's bad, you say it's fine
good things will come dear, all in good time
softly the days slip by without making much sound
I wonder if you have noticed I'm not around
stifling these feelings of wanting to hold you
and thinking of things that I shouldn't have told you
will this true love ever come into being
I'm used to passion not waiting and seeing
I say my timing's bad, you say it's fine
we'll fall in love someday, all in good time
blue christmas tree lights are hanging in place
I am waiting to stun you with all of my charm and grace
planning and scheming on when to steal kisses
and tallying up all my grand hits and misses
taking it slow doesn't sound so much appealing
say it again now this time with more feeling
I say my timing's bad, you say it's fine
I don't belive this should take so much time
I can't wait much longer, short attention span
won't you to sleep over, at least let's hold hands
